What We Did on Our Summer Vacation: Art with Kids

It has been a very creative summer in my classes. Most of the work focused on learning many ways to paint and draw faces (in the style of my favorite artists). Then, an awesome summer camp - five days of learning about the art of fashion.
The dresses shown are collages done with a fairy tale theme and every cool item found in our studio.

This video shows some of the fabulous work done by my amazing young artist students. Really, I do not know who had the most fun.

About the Blog

I believe in the power of creativity ... for everyone.

So, I paint, write, draw and print and ... I teach. My art students range in age from 5 to 101 (!).

For me, the process of dreaming up fabulous art projects for my students inspires my most creative ideas. This results in new work, new learning and new techniques for me which in turn, enrich my classes.

This blog is a way for me to share my work, my experiences in the classroom and studio, and the challenges and joy all of this creates.
